Middle Age Musings at 3 a.m. - Jacqueline Cioffa - Author of The Red Bench, The Vast Landscape & Georgia Pine

In one hundred years, no one will remember I was here. Probably less, and I’m absolutely certain I’m okay with that. I have no children to hover or haunt, no one who will share memories or reminisce.

If I only show you the photoshopped, concealed, makeup pretty me you’d never understand the underbelly. The crunchy grit, rawness hidden beneath. The really good stuff, the honest kind that matters. This face is not the who, how, or where This face is not the who, how, where, or when This face is not the who, how, where, when or why parts of me It’s cellular skin alive, hazel eyes, pointy nose, scarred forehead, potty mouth lips and cheeky cheekbones This face cannot carry the weight of a life nor mask the beauty It’s just a face like all others It’s mine though, this face Authentic, snotty nose From the dried tears I have cried This face is at the highway, halfway mark Raw and unfiltered Scribbling notes between the lines It gives a fuck less about herself And more about the Bluegrass beauty The lyrical tones Of other faces poetically similar and ugly foreign at times - Jacqueline Cioffa #poets #words #poetsofinsta #aging #poetsofinstagram #creativewriting #writer #lifelessons #poetry #FridayFeeling #model #Vogue #vintage #polaroid #poetsofig #poetrycommunity #quote #quotes #heart #truth #giovannigastel #beauty #time #humanity •"When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.
